Responsibilities & Context

CWFD emerged from an emotional response to help women in need of reproductive health care counseling. The organization, originally named “Concerned Women for Family Planning (CWFP), started its voluntary activities in 1974 to help the refugees coming to Dhaka city after the devastating famine of 1974. The organization was registered in 1975 with the Directorate of Social Welfare and formally launched its project activities in 1976 with only 5 female staff to cover an area of Dhaka city slum comprising around 50,000 people.

Vision Statement: Empower women, youths, and adolescents to achieve gender equality and social justice within family and society.

Mission Statement: CWFD is a non-political, non-profit voluntary organization run by women of Bangladesh to support, promote, and protect the interest of women in Bangladesh by providing community-based health care, empowering the community to exercise their rights to eliminate social injustice, creating economic opportunities, empower underprivileged youth of urban and rural population and develop human resources for a positive social change.

Programme background: Concerned Women for Family Development receive funds from United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to implement the Adolescents and Youth Programme. This programme aims to address gender-based violence (GBV) in Bangladesh by establishing linkages to adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and gender equity, with a focus on engaging boys and improving relationship-building skills. CWFD also implements a national humanitarian programme with funding support from UNFPA. As part of this, CWFD is working with UNFPA to implement the national humanitarian response.

UNFPA’s response to flood interventions will seek to mitigate the impacts of gender-based violence (GBV), maternal mortality, and challenges in the menstrual health of adolescent girls during the natural disaster, by deploying flood rapid response activities in 4 high-risk ranking districts – Jamalpur, Gaibandha, Kurigram, and Sirajganj. UNFPA will target 6500 adolescent girls including 300 adolescent girls with disabilities at risk of tropical cyclones.

For the national humanitarian response, counseling through the Alapon Helpline will be provided in disaster-prone districts. Additionally, 6500 MHM kits will be prepositioned and distributed in the affected areas. Youth leaders and volunteers will be mobilized and incentivized to raise awareness and disseminate lifesaving messages among adolescents during disasters, focusing on GBV and child marriage.
